Assess students' ability to apply semiotic frameworks (signs, codes, denotation/connotation), intertextual analysis (historical, cultural, visual references), and rhetorical strategies to decode ideological messages in 20th‑century political propaganda posters. Tasks include identifying key semiotic elements, tracing intertextual links to other texts/images and historical events, linking visual/textual codes to political aims, and justifying interpretations with evidence and contextual knowledge.
